Determine the Most Effective Intervention for Hemorrhage Control Readiness for Laypersons: The PATTS Trial

Completed · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Traumatic Hemorrhage

In brief

This is a randomized controlled study evaluating the ability of laypersons to correctly apply a tourniquet using different instructional methods. There are four arms being evaluated: flashcards, audio-kit with visual aids, formal in person Bleeding Control Basic (B-Con) course, and a control arm. All participants will then undergo B-Con training at the end of each session and then participants will be evaluated within a 3-6 month time period to evaluate their retention of knowledge and skills taught by the B-Con course.
